Phillies 7, Twins 5: A grand failure
I didn’t see much of today’s action, what with my five year old nephew demanding some birthday attention this afternoon. But after checking in on Gameday early-on and seeing a big lead I thought “good—at least we’ll salvage one game from this series”. Alas, there was no more joy in Mudville to be found as […]
Game 125: Phillies at Twins
First Chuck: 1:10 PM (new anthem each week!) The Tube: Twins.TV The Dial: Treasure Island Baseball Network Spies ‘R Us: The Good Phight Fifty years ago, a little film about an underdog boxer was released to theaters… Made for one million dollars—a relative pittance for films even in ‘76—the flick about an unlikely pugilist from […]
Phillies 9, Twins 1: Yield of Dreams
In a game that definitely needed to be consumed, and then recapped, the Philadelphia Phillies continued their late-summer dominance of the Twins with a decisive 9-1 victory, headlined by Philly’s seven-run, fifth-inning explosion. As we were reminded in the pregame, the American League Wild Card situation is a bit of a cluster, especially with midgame […]
Game 124: Phillies at Twins
First Pitch: 6:10 pm CDT TV: Twins.TV Radio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy The Twins have had a full Friday off to wash their nationally-televised Field of Dreams performance out of their mouths, and recenter focus onto the reality that they’ve still got two home games left against a […]
Seven 1991 Minnesota Twins Memories
Next week, the Minnesota Twins will host the Atlanta Braves at Target Field. This of course comes on the 35th anniversary of what many believe to be the greatest World Series ever played. Greater still that “our guys” came out victorious, of course. I was five years old (just weeks away from 6) in October […]
Phillies 7, Twins 1: “There’ll be other days”
Tonight, the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies participated in the MLB Field of Dreams Game on the iconic site of the 1989 film. For thoughts on my favorite baseball movie of all time, check out the game thread. Before the umpire decried “play ball!” in Dyersville, IA, Netflix orchestrated a beautiful pregame ceremony featuring Hall […]
Game 123: Phillies at Twins (Field of Dreams Game)

The Minnesota Twins’ Most Polarizing Prospect
Minor League Baseball is full of quirks and oddities. With over 200 teams and 5,000 players across MiLB, you can find every type of profile imaginable. Out of all of these unique players, we are focused on Twins’ 19-year-old infield prospect Quentin Young. Before The Pros In the 2nd round of the 2025 MLB Draft, […]
Twins 7, Orioles 5: Offense answers back — and in greater numbers
The Minnesota Twins looked to win their sixth series win in a row going into today’s game against the Baltimore Orioles. With the Orioles also contenders in the American League Wild Card – only half a game behind the Twins – a win was necessary. Well… a win is always necessary, right? Zebby Matthews started […]

Orioles 5, Twins 2: O’s power past Twins
The Orioles blasted a pair of two-run homers in the first two innings against Bailey Ober to jump out to an early lead. The damage was done by Pete Alonso and Gunnar Henderson. The Twins loaded the bases in the 2nd inning with no outs and only got one run out of it. In the […]

Twins 9, Orioles 5: I Kremer Saw I Conquered
They say to keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, which is why for most of my adult life I’ve hung out with people who I don’t really like. Tonight, starter Dean Kremer proved why that maxim is not just a magazine, spinning a gem against his former club in a shiny 7-inning, one-hit […]

Monday Morning Minnesota: The “Youth Movement” Edition
Last week was a mixed bag for the Twins. After wrapping up the trade deadline by picking up a couple of additions to the pitching staff, they promptly dropped two straight series. Then they got the bad news that Joe Ryan was heading to the injured list due to a glute strain, but the youth […]
Brewers 4, Twins 3 (10): Too full from late LOBster
After dropping last night’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Minnesota Twins came into today’s game looking for a series win against MLB’s top team. The rubber match looked to be lopsided, giving the Twins an uphill climb towards a victory. However, it turned out to be a pleasant pitching duel to finish out the […]

Brewers 4, Twins 3: Falling Short
Tonight, Andrew Vaughn reminded Twins Territory why any player whose career has involved only the Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers is bad news for a team based in Minnesota. Vaughn’s tiebreaking eighth-inning single sealed the deal on a Brew Crew win, evening the series and handing the loss to recent acquisition Jeff Hoffman. The […]

First Pitch: 6:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy Armed with their latest weapon — unstoppable rookie Kaelen Culpepper — the Twins aim to take the series against baseball’s best team.

Twins 8, Brewers 6: The pen (also, hitting) is mightier than the sword (the defense)
The kid had the jitters. Look, it happens. But Aidan still believes in Kaelen Culpepper’s glove, and because of that so do I. The Brewers, who are very good at taking advantage of other teams’ mistakes, did precisely that, but it wasn’t quite enough. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Leadoff walk for Austin Martin; he steals second, […]

Would Major League Baseball be better with a salary cap/floor?
When I was an adolescent, I’d often stay up late basking in the glow of my 27” cathode ray tube television watching movies on cable. Sometimes, I’d push it so far as to bump into TV networks’ “nite owl” programming. If that happened to be something religious or controversial, a title card would flash reading […]
Twins 4, Royals 3: Late hits with RISP? It’s true! (Not a trap.)
The Minnesota Twins desperately needed a win tonight against the Kansas City Royals for a variety of reasons. One reason: to win a game in August. Another couple reasons: to keep pace in the American League Central and Wild Card races. One more reason: to see if the offense is alive. Bailey Ober kept the […]

Twins Top 40 Prospects: August 2026
Draftees, trades, and graduations have really shaken things up in the Twins organization this month as the system has added and lost a bunch of notable prospects. The top of the list remains loaded high-minors talent that is likely to contribute to the major league team in 2027 or potentially as early as this fall. […]
